Relative pressure
does not agree with
official reporting
station
Relative pressure refers to sea-level equivalent
temperature and should generally agree closely with
the official station. If there is a disagreement, make
sure you are not looking at absolute pressure, in
particular if your station is not near sea level. Also
check at different times due to occasional delays in
updates to the official station.
The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.09 inHg (3
hPa) within the following relative pressure range:
20.67 to 32.50 inHg (700 – 1,100 hPa), which
corresponds to an altitude of 9,000 ft. (2,750 m)
down to 2,500 ft. (750 m) below sea level. At higher
altitudes, you should expect a possible lesser
accuracy and non-linearity effects in the error (the
calibration offset only allows for a partially linear
correction).
Time is incorrect
Make sure your time zone and daylight savings time
setting is correct (even when connected to the
Internet via Wi-Fi this is needed).
Data not reporting to
Wunderground.com
Confirm your station ID is correct. The station ID is
all caps, and the most common issue is substituting
a capital letter O for a 0 (zero) or vice versa. Please
note the digit 0 can only occur in the last part of the
station ID (which is a station number in a city).
Example, KAZPHOEN11, not KAZPH0EN11
Confirm that your password (also called: key) is
correct. It is the password wunderground.com
generated for your station ID. You can also verify it
by logging in to wunderground.com and looking it up
under “My PWS.”
Make sure the date, time and time zone is correct on
the WS View app. If it is not incorrect, you may be
reporting data for a point in the past or future and you
may not see it where you expect it.
Check your router firewall settings. The gateway
sends data via port 80. If you can access other web
sites using “http” (not to be confused with “https”) this
setting will be OK.
